As the Dáil sits for its final week before the summer recess, a motion tabled by Sinn Féin calling for an inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell could be troublesome for the coalition due to Fianna Fáil politicians' ongoing anger over the handling of the case.
It will be a “real betrayal” of Shane O’Farrell’s family if a motion calling for a public inquiry into the death of the hit-and-run victim is not supported by the Government, a Sinn Féin TD has said.
The party’s Cavan-Monaghan TD Matt Carthy said “serious questions” have been raised about “Garda interactions with Gridziuska and various decisions of several state bodies, including the courts and the Director of Public Prosecutions”. Several TDs were angry when the scoping exercise did not recommend an inquiry. Some told the Irish Mirror last year that they would vote in favour of an inquiry if another opportunity presented itself.
